Ya Gotta See This: Joan Baez on Wednesday, Oct. 19 (video)

CLEVELAND, Ohio - When I talked to Joan Baez, who's coming into town for a show at Playhouse Square on Wednesday, Oct. 19, I was stunned to find out that the 75-year-old icon is not yet in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Joan wasn't quite as surprised, but trust me, she's aware of the snub. And it is a snub. Her contemporaries - notably Bob Dylan - are in, after all.

Joan says the activism that's been a part of her career since the beginning may be a factor, but it's not something she's changing. As a matter of fact, this show is in connection with an organization that's fighting to free people who were wrongfully convicted of crimes, the Innocence Project.

Tickets, $35 to $75, are available at the box office, online at playhousesquare.org and by phone at 216-241-6000.
